I didn't look at those too closely because Jeff Cooper didn't like them, but even if the Colonel had been silent I sorta prefer the speed and easy the self contained slings offer.New Jovian Thunderbolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452246769246304612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-18505185146384387022007-09-24T15:58:00.000-04:002007-09-24T15:58:00.000-04:00Kinda hard to tell from that website, as they have...Kinda hard to tell from that website, as they have no actual pictures of their product.

I like the idea of attaching the cuff separate of the rifle. Ideally, with one cuff and multiple straps, I can preset my strap lengths for each firing position and swap them out using the QD swivels for each course of fire rather than monkey with a single sling on the line.<BR/><BR/>Just my thoughts.<BR/><BR/>MattThe Armed Canadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187514314023986067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-52003576405080000842007-09-23T22:28:00.000-04:002007-09-23T22:28:00.000-04:00Wade-I can't put a pic of myself up for pirvacy re...Wade-<BR/><BR/>I can't put a pic of myself up for pirvacy reasons, but I included a pic from the Galco website of the Safari sling in action.<BR/><BR/>If you wathc the WWII training videos you will see how the standard military sling works, and the CW and Ching are self explanatory once you know them. <BR/><BR/>Also, Cooper's The Art of the Rifle has a few sections on sling work<BR/><BR/>-BoltNew Jovian Thunderbolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452246769246304612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-34307211026320961652007-09-23T07:45:00.000-04:002007-09-23T07:45:00.000-04:00Dear Jove,Can you show a series of pics demonstrat...Dear Jove,<BR/><BR/>Can you show a series of pics demonstrating the use of the Ching Sling? I, for one, would be interested, as I have not shot rifle since my ROTC days, 30 years ago, and then it was seated and prone positions.<BR/><BR/>By the way, a topic you might discuss is How to decide which rifle is right for your intended use; questions such as Bolt vs Lever vs Semiauto, which caliber and the cost of various ammo etc.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>WadeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
